THE CREATION

DAY SIX - PART ONE:

Psalm 104:14-22 "He causes the grass to grow for
the cattle, And vegetation for the service of man, That he may bring forth
food from the earth, 15 And wine that makes glad
the heart of man, Oil to make his face shine, And bread which
strengthens man's heart. 16 The trees of the LORD are full
of sap, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted, 17 Where the birds make their nests;
The stork has her home in the fir trees. 18 The high hills are for
the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers. 19 He appointed the moon for seasons;
The sun knows its going down. 20 You make darkness, and it is
night, In which all the beasts of the forest creep about. 21 The young lions roar after their
prey, And seek their food from God. 22 When the sun rises, they
gather together And lie down in their dens."

Isaiah 40:28 "Have you not known? Have you not
heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable."

Sixth Creative
Day:

Like day three, this
creative day is distinguished by a double creative act. The production of
higher land animals and the creation of man. The first part of the
activities of God will be the focus of the this first part of day six. God
is going to bring into existence the three types of land animals. These
three kind of land animals encompass the whole animal kingdom of this class
(apart from those already created on day five). These animals, like those of
day five, were to bring forth after their own kind!

Text:

Genesis 1:24-25 "Then God said, “Let the earth
bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping
thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it
was so. 25 And God made the beast of the
earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything
that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was
good."

Living Creatures: These terms are derived from the
Hebrew, 'Nephesh Chayyah' and is best described as 'animated beings
of the earth'. In the terms that follow they are placed in well defined
categories, species, or classes. This is a universal application and the
titles to follow are also universal classes.

They are not given for
specifics as much as they are given to define the order of separation.

All creatures are not the
same, this is the will of God. God obviously delights in variety. He also
delights in function, thus each created creature is necessary and has
purpose to the order of God's design. Every single creature made by God is
not listed for the simple reason that God knew everyone who read this
account of creation may have a different view of specific creatures. So He
describes the classes and allows the reader to reference their own knowledge
of the creatures that surround them (thus, we do not have to have a degree
in animal science to comprehend). Finally, no creature can be different than
its individual created nature allows it to be!

• Cattle.

This is the Hebrew word,
'Behemah' or the 'dumb animal'. It best describes the large grass
or vegetation eating quadrupeds (having four feet).

• Creeping Thing.

This is from the Hebrew,
'Remes' and refers to the smaller animals that move with or without
feet and at times may be scarcely perceptible (to include worms, insects,
reptiles, etc...).

• Beasts of the Earth.

This is the sole Hebrew
word, 'Chayyah' that we found combined earlier in "Living
Creatures". It simply means, 'of the earth'. It is here describing
the wild, roving, and carnivorous beasts; each in its comprehensive order.

All of these categories
were brought about in its specific, fully generated nature by the will of
God. They all qualify as earth born creatures!

God Made: Here we have the Hebrew term
'Asah' , which means created from something (thus formed from existing
matter). In Chapter
Two and Verse 19,
Moses stated as he revealed a review of the events of day six, that God
formed these creatures from the ground.

Modern evolutionists and
many scientists believe that they can conceive life; however, they have
never been able to demonstrate this form of conception, life from lifeless
matter. This is once again the exclusive domain of God!

According to Its Kind: A creatures highest
function is to act in accordance with the nature that God has assigned it
(including man). The creatures of God were not made to change, but to
fulfill their specific purposes.

1 Corinthians 15:39 "All flesh is not the
same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another
flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds."

Each originating from the
first as God made them. Not from a single cell and constant evolution as
some suggest. The only universal thing life shares is its creator; GOD!

It Was Good: God examined and judged,
investigated the nature of His creation, tested the properties, contemplated
its uses, admired its excellence in correspondence to His Divine plan and
pronounced it GOOD!

Summary: In the first part of day six, God
occupies dry land with its perspective residents (everything after its own
kind).
